Technology That’s With You Behind The Wheel.

From detecting vehicles in your blind spot, to bright powerful LED lights, to helping you with parallel parking, advanced and innovative features offer smart ways to help you drive confidently on the road ahead.10  

Driver-Assist Technologies

Check your blind spot

When you have BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) With Cross Traffic Alert it’s like having an extra set of eyes in the back of your head.10  It alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot while driving as well as vehicles behind you when backing up.

Drive between the lines

With Lane Keeping Assist you’ll stay in your lane, even during moments of unintentional distraction. If your vehicle starts to drift out of the lane, you’ll be alerted with vibrations in the steering wheel, chimes, and visual warnings.10, 138

Next level cruise control

Sitting in stop-and-go traffic can feel tedious. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go keeps the pace by slowing your vehicle down if traffic slows or stops, then resuming your set speed when traffic starts moving.10  Lane Centering also helps keep you centred in the lane when your hands are on the wheel.10

Steer in the right direction

In the event that a vehicle suddenly appears in your path, Evasive Steering Assist can help you steer clear of a potential collision.10, 138  It doesn’t steer for you but it does provide extra support to help you manoeuvre around a slow or stopped vehicle.

Be a parallel parking expert

For anyone who’s ever wished they had a spotter to parallel park, there’s Enhanced Active Park Assist . There’ll be no more stressing because all you have to do is shift, accelerate and brake, while it steers you into, and out of, your selected spot.9

Master steep hills

Steep hills can be tricky to navigate – especially if you’re towing a trailer. Hill Descent Control makes things easier by helping to maintain a set speed while driving down an incline, by automatically applying the brakes when needed.10

Take curves with confidence

Entering into a curve too fast can be nerve-racking, but it doesn’t have to be. With Curve Control , your speed is detected as you enter a curve, and if the system deems the speed excessive, the brakes automatically kick in to help slow you down.10  Phew!

Headlamps and cameras help you drive with confidence.
